Court case bares big contractor behind Makati ‘flying registrants’

The voters-for-hire even fought back, appealing at the Regional Trial Court their expulsion by a Metropolitan Court judge. All indigents, they were represented not by the Public Attorney’s Office or pro-bono counsels but by pricey lawyers of Quasha Law.

Judge Paggao linked Chua to flying voters, stating that he personally received summons issued to respondents in their posted address, which happens to be Chua’s own home. Coincidence? The anomaly not only defies Philippine Statistics Authority’s population projections for Brgy. Carmona. It also occurs without any expansion of territorial coverage or mass inbound migration.

If the RTCs uphold all lower court rulings, a little over a thousand more fake voters will be ejected. Slightly less will be retained. In a series of hearings recently, senators took turns pummeling key officials and legal luminaries of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.
